These jars are one of my very favorite things in the whole wide world.

I keep these stocked in my pantry for a few reasons. Their diminutive size makes them ideal for creating "sample" jars of recipes you are testing, and for gift-giving too. I'm a huge fan of small batch canning, and these jars are perfect for those smaller amounts of precious preserves that you want to stretch as far as possible. Listen, I know you worked hard to pick that pound of dandelions! Don't put your entire batch of delectable Dandelion Jelly in one pint (16 ounces) jar...divide it up into four (4 ounce) jars instead.

It's good to be able to share homemade preserves with your neighbors, friends & family, so when you see these small jars, buy a box of them.

Trust me...you'll be glad you did.
